them. He stated that the "grades are such that half the water can't run into
the manholes--that it runs across private property, washing it out". Manager
Hyde explained that the Village has graded and ?e-graded the streets after
sanitary sewer construction and that there is still settling. IAr. Zikan then
reported 'that surveyor Arleigh Smith had set the streets to "finished grade";
that, after blacktop is applied the streets will be at manhole level. On h.k.
Kohler's suggestion that the manholes be dropped by one brick, to bring them
down to present grade (providing blacktopping is not to be done this year), Mr.
Hyde reported that this will cost some $15 to $20 per manhole, for a half-dozen
or so manholes. After some discussion, Mr. Stow was informed that manholes will
be dropped, pending blacktopping; and Kohler moved for approval of assessment as
tabulated.

The Council viewed with enthusiasm the following Resolution adopted by the Planning

desirable and necessary that there be immediate and greater cooperation between
the Village Council, the Park Board and the School Board and that the Planning
Commission is particularly concerned with the School Board's performance and
programs for the development of future school sites which have a great effect
on the problems of platting which are necessarily before the Planning Commission.
Further it is the consensus of the Planning Commission that without the cooperation
of the variolu? governmental units of the Village, it is difficult to properly

Board of Review convened at 5:OO P.M,, with members Dickson, Kohler, Tupa and
Bredesen present,
Assessor Creighton was present to explain that his Books of Valuation had not yet
been completed, and to ask that the meeting be continued to Hfonday, August 18.
A delegation consisting o€ Dr. Jose Abullarabe, I&r, F. 0, Hutchinson, and 1.k.
George S. Barnes, Jr., asked for relief from excessive taxes which they must pay
because they belong to the Hopkins School District. It was explained to them
that their valuations cannot be lowered to compensate for this difference; and,
that until they come into Edina-h:orningside School District they must pay the
Hopkins rate for schools; that, even if they should be accepted into Edina-
Llorningside, they will still have to pay their proportionate share of the
outstanding bonded debt of the Hopkins'district as set forth at the time of
their transfer. Hanager Hyde explained that VJalnut Drive residents had petitioned
for transfer to Edina-fforningside School District,'but that this petition had been
denied last fall because of Hopkins' desire to keep the property abutfing County
Road #18 (which may eventually become commercial), It was noted that the vjalnut
Drive area is close to Edina Highlands School, and even closer to the two proposed
new Edina schools proposed to be constructed within the next two or three years;
whereas it is some miles from the nearest Hopkins school, Delegation was informed
that the Edina Village Council has absolutely no control over their problem; that
this is the jurisdiction of the respective School Boards; but it was suggested
that they re-file €or transfer; and, inasmuch as this Council is indisposed to
allow Commercial rezoning along Highway No. 18 , it was thought that this opinion
should be transmitted to the Hopkins School Board for its information,
There was no one else present to complain or recommend, and Tupa moved that Board
